| Irish' Music |
| Beautiful County Of Meath |
| It was once said to me, and has been voiced by many - that the only difference between the Scots and the Irish is that the Scots stopped fighting. My response to my Irish friends is that we stopped fighting for good reason. After putting OUR king on THEIR throne, WE thought WE had won ! Sadly the Scots have now spent four centuries wondering what happened ?? Perhaps NOW is the time to peacefully right the wrongs of the past. |
| In the words of Burns, as he wrote from the heart. Scots, wha hae wi' Wallace bled, Scots, wham Bruce has aften led, Welcome to your gory bed, Or to victorie. Now's the day, and now's the hour; See the front o' battle lour; See approach proud Edward's power, Chains and slaverie. Wha would be a traitor-knave? Wha can fill a coward's grave? Wha sae base as be a Slave? Let him turn and flie: Wha for Scotland's king and law, Freedom's sword will strongly draw, Free-man stand, or free-man fa', Let him follow me. By Oppression's woes and pains! By your Sons in servile chains! We will drain our dearest veins, But they shall be free! Lay the proud Usurpers low! Tyrants fall in every foe! Liberty's in every blow! Let us Do - or Die!!! Choose your destiny. |
I've travelled many counties in Ireland But there's still one I'm longing to see That's been part of my homeland And it brings back fond memories to me. Where I wandered alone in my childhood Reviewing the sights I once see As I walk round the parks and the forests, Round the beautiful county of Meath Oh, beautiful Meath you've got all that I need Your rivers they flow with delight; Your fields are so green, there's plains to be seen And your towns are so gay and so bright Fishing down on the buoy, I remember the time You would think it was all just a dream And wherever you roam, there's no place like home And the beautiful county of Meath Turn around I've seen it's beautiful castles. And it's history I've learned so well, I've read of the high kings of Tara And the wonderful book of Kells And the lane still remembers St. Patrick, We lit a fire for the people to see Where they brought love and kindness to Ireland And the beautiful county of Meath Key change Last chorus + last line |
